Title: Device and apparatus
Inventor: ANTHONY SHUTTLETON
IPC: E21B23/12
Filed: 2020-02-03
Abstract: A bore selector device (Fig. 2b, 10) comprises a housing defining a bore (20) and opposed actuators (13), e.g. piston actuators. Each actuator drives respective primary 12a and secondary 12b ram elements between respective retracted and extended positions perpendicular to the bore. The primary rams each comprise a downwardly tapered portion 14 forming a funnel shaped guide in the extended position such that when a tool is run through the bore selector device it is guided down the funnel towards a desired bore of the well e.g. an annulus bore. The secondary rams 12b form tongues which protrude from the primary rams, towards the bottom of the tapered portion and block the annulus bore when retracted. One secondary ram defines an opening therein which aligns with a primary ram opening, forming a passage 16 through the rams 12 in extended position. Thus, the bore is not fully blocked when in the extended position and access to a production bore of the well is prevented by the primary ram elements 12a, while access to an annulus bore of the well is permitted by the passage 16.
